bad experience

I bought mine before a trip to Colorado. used it one night at the foot of the great sand dunes and it ripped near where I latched it to the tree. would give it a second chance.

Pretty Radical!

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

This was a gift for both me and my boyfriend, and we absolutely love this! We have some pretty small backpacking trips planned and wanted a good rain fly to match our hammock. 100% will recommend! The only thing it doesn't come with is stakes but you can find something pretty easy to tie the strings to.

Just used it for the first time as a sun shade while working in the back yard. It was quick to set up thanks to the included (long) strings. Can’t wait to take it camping.

Way better than a tarp

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

When a product is engineered to work with something else flawlessly, why selttle for something else? Pairs perfectly with my hammock and is versitle and light weight.

Great to Have

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

I just bought this and have already put it to use. Besides being the obvious (rain shelter), this makes a solid sunshade as well. The ties make it easy to use as a sun shelter for a group of people or as a rain shelter for a group of people

Not only a Hammock Shelter!

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

Great shade for some family time.
As the other reviewers point out, packs down small and doesn't weigh a thing.

Perfect hammock shelter!

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

I love my profly! I went with this one over the others ENO has to offer because it offers better coverage. It also fits seamlessly with the rest of my ENO hammock set up. I almost exclusively hammock camp, it's my favorite when backpacking. I love that all the pieces are split up (as opposed to a tent that is all one piece) so that way I can maneuver things to fit tighter and more streamlined to fill all the space available in my bag. This also does pretty well at blocking wind if you strap your sides low. My dog sleeps outside the hammock and shelters underneath me so she is also kept our of the rain which is always a plus! It is not the lightest rain fly on the market though so if that is your end game I would look elsewhere. But in terms of durability and coverage this one takes the cake in my opinion!
Goat sticker is for scale so you can see how small it packs up! Though it does take a specific folding pattern to get it this small, so pay attention when you unroll it the first time. It took a minute to get used to but now that I have it is fairly quick!

Always in my pack

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

My Eagle's Nest Outfitters ProFly tarp has become my go to emergency shelter. It packs small, yet provides enough room for two people to sleep under if necessary. I like the two extra attachment points on the ProFly over the FastFly. I feel it gives me more setup options. The only drawback is that the cordage on the guylines is not very good. I simply replaced mine with paracord and have not had another problem. Also, the tarp does not come with stakes so I needed to add some before using it. When that high mountain storm rolls in and forgets to roll out, having a dry place to hang out is worth the extra pound in your pack.

rain? no problem

I've gone camping a few times and have put this up because the sun was to bright or the rain was to heavy. perfect for all weather.

Tie it down!

Familiarity:

I've used it several times

I've only used this a few times and I really like it a lot. My only concern is rain. I've not used it in the rain so I don't know how it will do. My concern is that some rain may make it through from the ends if the wind is blowing. Speaking of wind, I highly recommend tying it down to something rather than staking it down, unless your stakes are super strong. I staked my down with my tent stakes and because it was kind of windy(15-25 mph), when I returned home from work, my spikes had all been pulled out of the ground. In the wind, this is like a giant sail so either stake it down with big strong stakes or tie it down to something solid. How it holds in inclemate weather still remains to be seen.

Gave this as a gift along with the DoubleNest Hamock. It has already been used a few times and I am told that the 2 of them together are simply awesome. This comes from an avid outdoorsman also, so you can be sure he doesn't take his gear lightly.

Maybe Get Some Tent Stakes

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

It's a tarp and will keep you dry. It doesn't come with stakes so unless there are ample rocks and roots where you're camping, you won't have a way to tie the tarp taut over your hammock. I definitely recommend getting some stakes in addition to the tarp.

Looks good

Familiarity:

I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions

I have not been able to take a hammock backpacking trip yet since ordering this. I ordered the whole kit: Eno double nest, Eno bug net, Eno tent, Eno underquilt, and atlas straps. The gear is what I expected and sets up nicely.
All the gear has a similar weight to my Big Agnes seedhouse 2. However, since there are no poles the gear can be moved around more in a backpack than a tent.

It works good!

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

I like this Rain Fly it works really well and is super easy so set up i like the compression buckles it has on it and with my BD stake and guy-line set it makes it really easy to secure tightly in any situations! The thing i don't like about this is although adequate for the job, this is just a run of the mill rain fly no flair or style to it, there are not bells and whistles, no reflective layers, no membrane or laminates like i have seen in other fly's, great price but over all i would rather spend more to get more. If you are looking for a price point rain fly to last this is the way to go

Perfect addition to hammock camping. The Eagles Nest Tarp, is durable and give nice production from rain, sun, and wind. It also packs small, and works great for backcountry adventures.

What is the difference between the ENO Profly and Dryfly

Hey cge3922284. The differences between the ProFly and the Dry Fly are that the ProFly has one more attachment point than the Dry Fly for more stability in winds, LineLoc Fasteners on the ProFly for faster and more secure line tension and the ProFly has silicone impregnated rip-stop nylon that is lighter than the poly treated nylon of the Dry Fly, but still keeps water out. But, the Profly does cover less of an area than the Dry Fly. 7'2" x 9'6" for the Profly and 12' x 9'6" for the Dry Fly.

disagree wally, sorry. you are talking about three different products. the silicone impregnated profly is a separate product from the profly. that is why it is double the price of the regular profly. the regular profly is poly coated just like the dryfly. the sil nylon profly is silicone impregnated. your dimensions are a little off too...according to the manufacturer's website (and the product I am looking at right now and just measured)...10'6"x6'4" for the profly.

What are the dimensions of this tarp? The ENO website lists 12' x 9.5' for the ProFly Rain Tarp (which is larger than it is listed here), as do some other camping retailers. What is the actual size and will it *completely* cover an ENO DoubleNest hammock?
